Multi-Context Cycling: From Neighborhood Streets to Light Rail

Sep 27, 2016

9:15 am - 11:15 am

Seattle, WA

Bike infrastructure coexists with light rail tracks and older (retrofitted) bridge design in these two neighborhoods. This tour will travel by light rail to the Beacon Hill Station and then bike on one of Seattle’s first neighborhood greenways, a Safe Routes to School trail connection, a rechannelization project, a multiuse widened sidewalk, a bridge being retrofitted to accommodate cyclists, and the SODO trail that parallels light rail tracks. The tour includes frequent stops to discuss context, constraints, success stories and lessons learned.
